I agree with Lori Nickel because I think kids and teens should limit there game time and not siting and doing video games all the time. I also think it will affect there grade in school because they will be always playing video games when you should be listening to the teacher. I only do like two hours a day which is a good thing to do instead of the whole day. It is also bad because your eye site will go weird and it will make you adicted to it.
I think she think that she is not seeing the way kids are talking to friends online when they are playing video games. I think she is wrong because some friends build a better friendship when you're talking to them more. You could be on the team and not be that popular guy on the team and that weak guy on the team, so that could be a bad part about sports. This is why video games can be good.
“Also, I don’t know of any app that raises your heartbeat like a three on two fast break, or the 10 minutes of stairs you did to train yourself for them.” I agree with this statement because I sometimes just relax and don’t get exercise. I play the clarinet and it takes a lot of practice to get to the high notes and get the notes out. I play on my phone and Ipod for a long time, but it doesn’t really get you exercise and you are not learning anything from that at all.
“Especially when you’re just a role player who serves two aces to beat your school’s biggest rival. You’ll never forget the high fives from your teammates or the smile on your coach’s face. Which is good- because you’ll also never forget how many serves you put that ball in the blasted net before that and how many times poor coach just dropped her head - but never yelled.” I agree with this because I play tennis and you meet new people and get a good exercise out of it. People give you high fives, and the coach will get you to the highest point to succeed.
I agree and disagree with her, for one reason kids are playing video games and crap too much these days. Back when I was a kid I rarely ever stayed inside, I was always outside doing something even if it was drawing in the dirt or searching for different species of bugs and such. I also think video games are ok as long as they are limited but most the games kids play these days take some serious thinking and coordination. The video games these days challenge the mind a lot more, but kids should still go outside and feel the sun. During winter of course kids are going to be inside more but during the summer they should really go outside.
For one in my opinion the mom really didn't say too much of why she needed her kids to get off video games besides that she wanted them to play sports. So in my opinion she really had no argued point or theoretically she had no ground to stand on. So in my opinion if he is passing all his classes he has a choice on whether or not he wants to join extracurricular activities. But if the kids were failing all there class then i could squirm over to her side of the debate but for now im planted on on the side against her statement.
I think that the mom is doing the right thing but I do think that she is working her sons too hard.
I think she is strict because first of all, her kids should be allowed to play video games on school nights because they were just a school that day, their brains need a break from all of the hard work they did at school. Second, because she basically just wants them to do sports, those kids should choose what they want to with their life whether it’s Music, Drama or whatever but she should not just make her kids play sports all of their life if it is not their interest because if they just stick with what they hate, their life would be hated by them forever.
However, she is also doing the right thing because her kids should not be trapped in their house all day because it is not healthy. If they play video games all of their life, they will be a FAT couch potato which they could not get payed for. They could become so fat they could die of a heart attack.
In my opinion this lady did not really give a legitimate alternative nor explanation as to why she would rather have her boy’s play video games than sports. By alternative I mean why does she think sports are better for them and what are some of the benefits besides growing muscles and staying healthier that you get from sports. All she basically said was that they are young and that they should be a participant and not a spectator, because apparently you can’t play sports when you're an adult for some reason. Even though there are sports like football and soccer where we have men in their 20’s to 40 who are some of best in sports and there older. So yeah you are totally just a spectator after your childhood. Plus she is also kind of pointing out they might not accomplish a lot of things of life like the 110 meter high jump. Ok one what if your children don’t want to do sports such as myself and do something like, drawing,computers or something that doesn’t involve physical activity. Well than sucks for you kid because your mommy wants you to become the next Brett Favre(minus the retirement). Plus if she really did understand her kid she would know that video games are one of the only ways to keep in touch with friends on a daily basis. Plus research shows that gamers have better reflexes and reaction time than pro athletes due to the fact that video games have stuff flying at the screen. So if you combine the two than your child will be a sports machine. These are the reasons why I think the mom’s claim was really legitimate nor educated enough to make a claim.

That is my opinion on the article.
